Global Long Island Website & Report Design

Designing a responsive web & mobile experience and a published project report to showcase how international engagement dramatically impacts the local economy.

Key Objective

• Collaborate with a developer to design and develop a responsive web and mobile experience.

• Design a clean, professional layout for the final published project report.

Web UI Style Guide — Follow the Current

Inspired by Global LI’s mission to measure and enhance Long Island’s international engagement, I drew from the surrounding ocean as a symbol of global connection. I incorporated earthy tones and wave-inspired elements to reflect this concept throughout the website.

Initial Design of the Hero Section — Waves. And more waves.

Inspired by the wave concept, I presented my initial hero image to my client. While I favored its visual appeal, their feedback highlighted that it resembled a travel website. This prompted me to reconsider the imagery, explore alternatives, and refine the design to better align with the project's goals.

Collaborating With a Developer — "Is this animation possible?"

Throughout development, I collaborated closely with the developer to discuss design iterations and technical feasibility. I explored which visual ideas could be implemented, including subtle fade animations in the hero section.

Responsive Web & Mobile Design — Web and mobile friendly

After completing and receiving approval for the desktop design, I moved on to the mobile version. I continued working closely with the developer to ensure the design and functionality translated smoothly across devices.
